brenda skeelThu, 29 Nov 2012 04:58:51 +0000http://www.designmom.com/?p=26566#comment-414658Thanks for the kind comments! I was actually a little nervous to send the pics in because of all the color! I love the look of the spaces that are mainly clean, white and more “cool” and modern looking, but that’s just not me – it’s good to know there are more “full color fans” :)

btw – Lisa – the entry walls are Sherwin Williams Steely Gray

I love sea glass colors, pale yellows, and many others that simply hint at color. What they bring to a room is a sense of calm, comfort, and beauty that I find completely lacking in white.

Niki KellyTue, 20 Nov 2012 23:53:13 +0000http://www.designmom.com/?p=26566#comment-413645My best friend LOVES color and her house is full of it. She swears she needs the color to be energized. I find it warm and vibrant. My house is a subdued palate, think grays and sea glass. I swear I need the quiet colors so I can hear my own voice. She says it makes her feel calm and content. So while you (and her couldnt live without it) I couldnt live with it. So maybe instead of daring for color, we should all just dare to be who we really are.

Sometimes I wonder if people who think they love an all-white look would really love color if they just dared try it! (Maybe pastels would be a way to start…) I could never live without color!

BrennaTue, 20 Nov 2012 21:05:48 +0000http://www.designmom.com/?p=26566#comment-413629Brenda’s home is sweet. I particularly love the industrial storage table in the kitchen.
My home would be the perfect mix of modern and classic – borderline eclectic in some cases. My husband leans toward traditional design, and I lean toward modern. We haven’t quite found our happy medium, but both of us have made compromises. Living with kids + creating a home full of inspiration and design can be challenging, especially when toys are involved. ha! But, I am reminded that more than anything we have a safe haven and have much more than many – that dose of perspective helps when I am longing for the latest rug or light fixture! :)
